What it covers
A service bulletin tells BMW technicians how to diagnose or fix a known issue. It is not a recall: a repair under a bulletin is normally paid by the owner unless the car is still under warranty or a warranty extension applies.
MIL light with DME faults 1B2002 and 1F1A51 stored. Service engine soon (MIL) light is on.
